AIMPLB organizes a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill, with concerns over potential dispossession of Waqf properties, NDA allies support, and constitutional validity emerging as critical issues.

AIMPLB Protests Waqf Bill Amidst Community Concerns

AIMPLB led protests at Jantar Mantar against the Waqf Bill as leaders highlight concerns over Muslim rights, potential property dispossession, and inadequate constitutional measures. MPs and organizations came together to oppose the proposed legislation.

AIMPLB leads protest against controversial Waqf (Amendment) Bill

AIMPLB rallies against the Waqf Bill with MPs and organizations, questioning its impact on Muslim rights and property.

The All India Muslim Personal Law Board on Monday led a protest against the Waqf (Amendment) Bill which was joined by several MPs, with AIMIM cheif Asaduddin Owaisi cautioning NDA constituents TDP, JD(U) and LJP (Ramvilas) that Muslims will never forgive them if they support the legislation.
A host of Muslim organisations joined hands under the aegis of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) to stage the demonstration at the Jantar Mantar here.
Speaking at the protest site, Owaisi claimed the Narendra Modi government's intention to bring the Waqf Bill is to disturb peace in the country.
"The prime minister's intention is that people keep fighting over Mandir-Masjid. Safeguarding Waqf properties is not the bill's objective," the AIMIM chief said.
"The bill attempts to take way Muslims' mosques, dargahs and cemeteries. We are cautioning (TDP chief) Chandrababu Naidu, (LJP-Ramvilas chief Chirag) Paswan Sahab and (JD-U's) Nitish Kumar -- remember that till the world exists, if you support this bill at this criticcal juncture, Muslims will not forgive you ever because it would be passed with your support," Owaisi said.
"Don't support this unconstitutional bill," he added.
Owaisi also pointed out that the bill allows for non-Muslims to be part of the Waqf council and boards, whereas in the management of endowments of other religions, only those belonging to that community are made members.
"The government is going to take an unconstitutional and anti-Muslim step," the Lok Sabha MP said.
Speaking to reporters at the protest site, Congress leader and former minority affairs minister Salman Khurshid claimed that the bill is not valid constitutionally and people are not satisfied with it.
Shia cleric Kalbe Jawad alleged that the bill's sole intention is to grab Waqf properties.
"Waqf grants Muslims the same rights that other religions enjoy over their institutions. If every faith has the right to administer its affairs, why are Muslims being singled out," Syed Sadatullah Husaini, president of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind and vice-president of AIMPLB, asked.
Polical leaders from a host of opposition parties, including Samajwadi Party's Awadhesh Prasad and Syed Naseer Hussain of the Congress, took part in the protest.
The 'dharna' was to be held on March 13 but was postponed in view of holidays on account of Holi.
AIMPLB spokesperson S Q R Ilyas said that after careful consideration, the board came to the conclusion that the proposed legislation will pave the way for the "usurping" of Waqf properties, which would be a "direct attack" on Muslims.
The protest came amid the ongoing Budget Session during which the Waqf Bill could be introduced with a joint committee of Parliament having submitted its report on the proposed legislation.
The 31-member panel on the bill, after multiple sittings and hearings, suggested several amendments to the proposed legislation, even as the opposition members disagreed with the report and submitted dissent notes.
The panel submitted the 655-page report to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on January 30.
The joint committee adopted the report containing changes suggested by the members from the ruling BJP by a 15-11 majority vote.
The move prompted the opposition to dub the exercise an attempt to destroy Waqf boards.
The bill was referred to the joint committee on August 8 following its introduction in the Lok Sabha by Union Minority Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju.

After BJP's Shobha Karandlaje raised objection to Owaisi's controversial oath, presiding officer Radhamohan Singh instructed it to be removed from the record.

 Asaduddin Owaisi's 'Jai Palestine' slogan during oath sparks row in Lok Sabha 

After BJP's Shobha Karandlaje raised objection to Owaisi's controversial oath, presiding officer Radhamohan Singh instructed it to be removed from the record.

A huge uproar erupted after AIMIM president and MP Asaduddin Owaisi raised pro-Palestine solgans while taking oath as a member of the 18th Lok Sabha on Tuesday.
Owaisi had concluded his oath with the words &nbsp;"Jai Bhim, Jai Meem, Jai Telangana, and Jai Palestine".
After BJP's Shobha Karandlaje raised objection to Owaisi's controversial oath, presiding officer Radhamohan Singh instructed it to be removed from the record.
Speaking about the incident, Owaisi later told reporters, "Everyone is saying whatever they want. I said Jai 'Bhim, Jai Meem, Jai Telangana and Jai Palestine'.&nbsp;
"How is it wrong? Tell me under which provision of the Constitution is it illegal. You should also listen to what everyone has said. Whatever I wanted to say, I said it."&nbsp;

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday slammed BJP over 'proper verification' of burqa-clad women voters in Delhi. The national capital will vote on May 25. 

Owaisi hits out at BJP over 'proper verification' of Muslim women voters in Delhi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday slammed BJP over 'proper verification' of burqa-clad women voters in Delhi. The national capital will vote on May 25.&nbsp;

All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday led an attack on the BJP. He said that the saffron party wants to target Muslim women and create problems for them in the voting process. Owaisi's remarks came after the BJP Delhi unit called on the Chief Electoral Officer and demanded proper verification of burqa-clad women to be done during polling in Delhi.&nbsp;
AIMIM chief shared a post on X, saying, "The Delhi unit of the BJP has told the Election Commission that there should be a special checking of women in burqa. During the recent Lok Sabha elections in Telangana, their candidate publicly insulted and harassed Muslim women. In every election, the BJP finds some excuse or the other to harass and target Muslim women."
He further added, "The Election Commission has clear rules and regulations for women who do not observe purdah, whether they are in burqa or veil or mask, no one is allowed to vote without verification, so why did the BJP have to make such a special demand? Just target Muslim women, harass them and create obstacles to voting."
On May 22, a Delhi BJP delegation comprising MLAs Ajay Mahawar and Mohan Singh Bisht, State Secretary Kishan Sharma and lawyer Neeraj Gupta met the Chief Electoral Officer. They submitted a memorandum demanding a proper verification of women voters wearing burqas coming to cast votes in Delhi on May 25.&nbsp;
This month, a video of BJP candidate Madhavi Latha contesting from the Hyderabad Lok Sabha seat went viral in which she was seen checking the identities of Muslim women voters at a polling station.

The firebrand leader of the saffron party, Navnit Rana Wednesday blasted the Owaisi brothers and stated, "The younger brother says, remove the police for 15 minutes, then we&rsquo;ll show them what we can do. I want to tell them: Dear younger brother, 15 seconds police hata lo, dono ko pata nahin lagega ki wo kahan se aaya aur kidhar ko gaya.&nbsp;
Significantly, Rana's remarks came in context with Akbaruddin Owaisi's statement, he gave in 2013 that 'if the police were removed for 15 minutes, we (Muslims) would finish 100 crore Hindus'.
Speaking to ANI, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi said, "I tell Modi ji - give her 15 seconds. What will you do?... Give her 15 seconds, give her 1 hour. We too want to see if you have any humanity left in you. Who is scared? We are ready...If someone is making an open call for it, then so be it...PM is yours, RSS is yours, everything is yours. Do it. Who is stopping you...Tell us where we have to go, and we will be there. Do it."

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi gave a counter to PM Modi's remark of 'more children' by saying that Muslim men use condoms the most in India.&nbsp;

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on April 27 gave a befitting reply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remark, referring to the Muslim community as 'those who have more children.' Owaisi gave the counter by saying that Muslim men use condoms the most in India.
During his address, Owaisi said that PM Modi is spreading lies to infuse hate among the Hindu community.
Asaduddin Owaisi is contesting the Lok Sabha polls from Hyderabad, at a public rally on April 27. He said, "The Prime Minister is saying Muslims are producing more children. The Modi government&rsquo;s data itself says the fertility rate of Muslims has dropped, but he is saying we are producing more children. The BJP and RSS are spreading this lie to claim that Muslims will become the majority in India."
"Narendra Modi is instilling fear among Hindus that Muslims will become the majority community. How long will you create fear about the Muslims? Our religion is different but we belong to this country," Owaisi further said.

AIMIM lawmaker Asaduddin Owaisi attacked the NDA government by questioning if the ruling establishment was serving a particular religion or the entire country

The last day of the 17th Lok Sabha session witnessed some heated moments on Saturday while discussing the Ram Temple consecration ceremony.
All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) lawmaker Asaduddin Owaisi attacked the NDA government by questioning if the ruling establishment was serving a particular religion or the entire country.
&nbsp;&ldquo;I want to ask if the Modi government is the government of a particular community, religion or the government of the entire country. Is the Modi government only of one religion and Hindutva? Does the government of India have a religion?&rdquo; he said.
Asserting that the country does not have a religion, he said, &ldquo;Through 22nd January (consecration of Ram temple), does this government want to send a message that one religion triumphed over the other? Does the Constitution allow this?&hellip; What message are you giving to the 17 crore Muslims in the country?&rdquo;
He also declared that the Babri mosque would continue to exist at the Ram Temple site in Ayodhya. He concluded his address with "Babri Masjid zindabad" slogan.
When the BJP MPs questioned the role of Babur in razing temples, Owaisi was quick to hit back by saying that he was not the spokesperson for the Mughal emperors.
&ldquo;Am I the spokesperson of Babur, Jinnah or Auranzeb? I respect Lord Ram but I hate Nathuram Godse who killed that person whose last words were Hey Ram," the AIMIM lawmaker said, calling the Supreme Court's 2019 verdict an "egregious act".

Dare Rahul Gandhi to fight contest poll from Hyderabad: Asaduddin Owaisi

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi challenged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to contest elections against him from Hyderabad.

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday challenged Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad in the ensuing Lok Sabha elections.
The AIMIM MP was addressing a public gathering in his parliamentary constituency, Hyderabad.
Owaisi said that the Babri Masjid, in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya, was demolished under the regime of the grand old party.
"I am challenging your leader (Rahul Gandhi) to contest elections from Hyderabad and not Wayanad. You keep giving big statements, come to the ground and fight against me. People from Congress will say a lot of things, but I am ready...Babri Masjid and Secretariat's mosque were demolished under the Congress regime..." he said.
The Congress and AIMIM are at loggerheads in Telangana as both parties are slugging it out to reach the helm in the upcoming state's Assembly elections, which are scheduled to be held later this year.
Earlier this month, Rahul Gandhi while speaking at Vijayabheri Sabha in Telangana's Tukkuguda, said that the Bharatiya Janata Party, Bharat Rashtra Samithi, and AIMIM are working in unison in Telangana and that his party is fighting against this troika.
"In Telangana, the Congress party is not fighting against BRS but with BRS, BJP and AIMIM combined. They call themselves different parties but they are working together unitedly," Rahul Gandhi had said.
The Wayanad MP had also claimed that there are no CBI-ED cases against Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao or AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi since Prime Minister Narendra Modi considers them his "own people".
All political parties in the fray are leaving no stone unturned to emerge victorious in the Telangana Assembly polls. The ruling BRS has already announced its list of candidates, while the Congress has announced its "six guarantees" which the party says will be fulfilled if they are voted to power.

Owaisi added that 'we are children of Adam and Hawa AS'.&nbsp;
He also addressed allegations of Hinduphobia and wrote, 'As for me, the democratic struggle for equal rights &amp; citizenship of Muslims is a fight for modern India&rsquo;s soul. It is not &ldquo;Hinduphobia"'.&nbsp;

AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi calls AAP 'chhota recharge', targets Kejriwal

He further hit out at Delhi CM, saying Kejriwal defamed Tablighi Jamaat during spread of coronavirus in the national capital.&nbsp;

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Sunday targeted the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP with a "chhota recharge" jibe, while alleging that the Delhi chief minister defamed Muslims and "wants to break all records of Narendra Modi".
Campaigning for All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) candidates in Delhi's Seelampur ahead of the civic body polls, he alleged that Kejriwal disappeared at the time of riots in the national capital and spoke against those who protested against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act at Shaheen Bagh.
The AIMIM has fielded 16 candidates in the December 4 MCD polls.
"When people were reeling under COVID-19, struggling for oxygen and hospital beds, the Delhi chief minister spewed venom and said coronavirus was spreading because of Tablighi Jammat. He defamed Tablighi Jamaat.
"The lists of Covid cases in Delhi had a column mentioning Tablighi Jamaat members as super-spreaders. The entire country started doubting Muslims. The hatred increased and many people were attacked. The Delhi CM is responsible for this," the AIMIM chief said. &nbsp;Owaisi alleged the Delhi chief minister said he would have removed the (anti-CAA) protesters at Shaheen Bagh in half an hour.

"A person from his party who later joined the BJP raised the 'goli maaron...' slogan," he claimed at the gathering. "The Delhi chief minister got an FIR registered against Tablighi Jamaat, but not against this person. This is his true face... He is the Narendra Modi of 2013 and wants to break all his records." "Houses were burnt and people were killed (in 2020 riots). The Delhi chief minister could not be seen anywhere," Owaisi said.
The AIMIM chief said it is not his party that helps the BJP win but the AAP and the Congress. "They say the BJP is gaining because of Owaisi. It's not me but them who help the BJP win. These parties are not powerful enough to stop the BJP," he said. &nbsp; Owaisi asked the Muslim community to build a leadership of their own by voting for AIMIM candidates. &nbsp;"You voted for the Congress but it could not stop the BJP. You voted for the AAP, but still the BJP won. The value of your vote will increase if you press the button against the kite (AIMIM's symbol)... Be it the BJP, Congress or the Delhi chief minister's chhota recharge. They will never want you to build leadership," he said.
The AIMIM chief had targeted Kejriwal and AAP with the "chhota recharge" taunt.

'Bilkis' rapists will be freed by you': Owaisi hits out at Shah over 'taught lessons to rioters' remark

The lesson you taught was that you will free the murderers of Bilkis' three-year-old daughter. You also taught us that Ahsan Jafri can be killed."

All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday lashed out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his "taught lessons to rioters in 2002" statement.
While addressing a public gathering at Juhapura, the largest Muslim ghetto in Gujarat, the AIMIM chief said, "Amit Shah today gave a statement during a public rally that they taught a lesson to the rioters of Gujarat in 2002 and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) established permanent peace in the state. I want to tell the MP of this (Ahmedabad) constituency, Amit Shah, that the lesson you taught in 2002 was that Bilkis' rapists will be freed by you. The lesson you taught was that you will free the murderers of Bilkis' three-year-old daughter. You also taught us that Ahsan Jafri can be killed."
"Amit Shah, what lesson did you teach to the rioters of Delhi communal riots of 2020?" he further questioned. While pitching for its female nominee Zainab Sheikh from the Vejalpur constituency, Owaisi urged the voters to vote for the candidate, who would serve the public. "If you would vote for Congress or Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) then your vote will be wasted. Vote for AIMIM to utilise your vote," he insisted. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) will field 14 candidates in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly polls.
AIMIM Gujarat State president Sabir Kabliwala earlier tweeted a list of candidates from Mandvi, Bhuj, Vadgam, Sidhdhapur, Vejalpur, Bapunagar, Dariyapur, Jamalpur Khadiya, Danilimda, Khambhadiya, Mangrol, Limbayat, Surat East and Godhara constituencies.

The Muslim community uses family planning tool, condom the most in order to maintain a gap between two children, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi has claimed.
He was responding to RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat’s recent population imbalance remark.
In his address at a public meeting here, Owaisi said Bhagwat will not mention this, and he should keep data before discussing population growths.
“Muslims population is not increasing. Don’t have any tension on that. Our population is declining... Muslims’ children TFR (total fertility rate) is declining. You know who is maintaining more spacing between two children? Muslims are maintaining. Who is using condoms the most? This is to inform you that we are using. Mohan Bhagwat will not talk about it,” Owaisi said.
Bhagwat on October 5 said India should have a population policy prepared after comprehensive thought and be applicable to all communities equally.
At the RSS Dussehra rally at the Reshimbagh Ground in Nagpur, Bhagwat had said community-based population imbalance is an important subject and should not be ignored. Population imbalances lead to changes in geographical boundaries.

Five Muslim men arrested for an offence have alleged that a Rajgarh district jail officer forced them to shave their beards following which a senior Madhya Pradesh prison official on Wednesday said a probe was on into the matter.
Calling the act a 'custodial torture' All India Majlid-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi demanded that instead of an enquiry into the incident, the jail officer should be suspended and put behind bars for this 'inhuman behaviour'. 
Owaisi also cited the manual of Home Ministry saying that all prisoners are allowed to practice their faith without any interference from the authorities. 
Rajgarh's district prison jailor S N Rana, who was accused by the men, said there may be a possibility that their beards were shaved on their own request as such arrangements are in place in the jail.
He added that everyone in jail has the freedom to keep beard and hair according to their own faith and belief.
The five men - Kalim Khan, Talib Khan, Arif Khan, Salman Khan alias Bhola and Wahid Khan - were sent to the district jail on September 13 after being arrested under Indian Penal Code Section 151 (disturbing public peace).
They were released on September 15.
The AIMIM chief said that the five men should have been granted bail in the police station itself for the IPC they were booked under instead they were sent to jail. 
Condemning the incident, Congress MLA Arif Masood also approached Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra along with the five men.
Masood accused the jail authorities of forcing the five men to shave their beards and demanded action against the jail authorities. He alleged that these men were also abused in the jail. Masood later said Mishra assured him of action in the matter.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Jails, M R Patel said nothing can be said as of now as a probe is underway into the matter and information will be shared after completion of the investigation.

"Owaisi, listen to me - even a dog will not urinate on Aurangzeb's identity" - this statement by the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra has caused a huge nationwide controversy. BJP's Devendra Fadnavis has found support in some quarters, and faced flak from others.
The statement was made in reaction to AIMIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi visiting the tomb of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Fadnavis had said, "Asaduddin Owaisi visited Aurangzeb's grave and paid tribute. And all you did was watch. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should drown in a handful of water. Owaisi, listen to me - even a dog will not urinate on Aurangzeb's identity. Saffron flags will wave across India."
The Mayor of Srinagar, Junaid Mattu fired a veiled criticism at Fadnavis, saying, "May Allah (SWT)’s mercy and blessings be upon Hafiz-e-Quran, Shahenshah Hazrat Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad Aurangzeb (R.A.) and his grave."
Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar had also criticised Owaisi.He had said, "These people know the history of Maharashtra and India. What Aurangzeb did in his era is also known. It is not right for someone from outside Maharashtra to come to the state and create a new issue."
The Shiv Sena also objected to Owaisi's actions, calling it a bid to stoke communal tension in Maharashtra.
The NCP, Shiv Sena, and Congress are in power in Maharashta.

Amid claims that a 'shivling' has been found at the Gyanvapi mosque in Varanasi, a political war of words broke out.
The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is currently in power in Uttar Pradesh, celebrated the news. However, Opposition leaders like Asaduddin Owaisi challenged the shivling claim.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief said that the structure at Gyanvapi was a fountain, not a shivling. Owaisi said, "'Baba' has not been found. Regarding the claim that a shivling has been found, the mosque committee has said that it is a fountain. Every mosque has such a fountain. The other important point is that the court-appointed commissioner did not approach the court. The petitioners' lawyer rushed to court and the judge issued an order. If there was a shivling, then the court-appointed commissioner should have said it."
The AIMIM chief also questioned the validity of the court order to seal the 'wuzu' pond where the alleged shivling was found. He said, "The court's order to seal the mosque area is in violation of the 1991 Act passed by Parliament. Read paragraph 83 of the Supreme Court's verdict in Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title suit. SC said that the 1991 Act is part of the Constitution's basic structure."
In response, Keshav Prasad Maurya, deputy chief minister of UP, said, "When Congress was in power, it used to bring laws which exacerbate such issues. At that time, the Ram Janmabhoomi campaign was taking place. (The 1991 Act was implemented) to prevent similar campaigns elsewhere. A shivling has not emerged there because of a campaign. A court was hearing a case, and upon its orders, a survey was done. According to the survey report, Baba Vishwanath has been found there. We are all celebrating. Statements by the Muslim side, or other politicians who practice appeasement, should stop. The situation in UP is very good."
The official report of the court-mandated survey of the mosque was not known by May 16. The claim that a shivling has been found was made by one of the petitioners.
A Varanasi court is currently hearing petitions filed by some Hindu women seeking permission to pray regularly at the Shringar Gauri shrine situated at one of the walls of the masjid.

'Not shivling, it is a...': Asaduddin Owaisi on Gyanvapi mosque-Shringar Gauri row, as BJP celebrates

As the Gyanvapi Mosque-Shringar Gauri temple issue gathers steam, Asaduddin Owaisi commented on the case. The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen chief also said that the Muslim community in India was never a vote bank, and will never be.
The Hyderabad MP said, "In our dear country, Muslims cannot change the government. You are being misled. Muslims used to think that they are a vote bank. Muslims were never a vote bank. It never was, and never will be so. In this country, there was and will always be a vote bank of the majority community. You have been cheated with this attractive and alluring idea that Muslims are a vote bank."
He cited the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi dispute, and invoked the ongoing Gyanvapi-Shringar Gauri case. "We cannot change the government. If we could, then why would the Indian Parliament have so few Muslim members? When was the last time that a Muslim MP was elected from Gujarat? If we could change government... the Babri Masjid issue has been adjudicated by the courts, and now Gyanvapi Mosque issue has erupted. You are free to disagree with me," he added.
His comments came in the wake of a local Varanasi court allowing videographic survey of the mosque. The court is hearing petitions by some Delhi-based women for permission to perform daily worship of Hindu deities located on the outer wall of the Gyanvapi Masjid.
The mosque is located next to Varanasi's Kashi Vishwanath temple. Owaisi earlier said that the Gyanvapi mosque's status is protected by Places of Worship Act, 1991.

Over two years after the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute was finally settled, another contest is heating up in Varanasi. The Gyanvapi Masjid-Shringar Gauri temple complex was the scene of drama on May 7.
A court commissioner's team visited the place of worship to conduct a videographic survey of the mosque. However, they could not conduct the survey despite spending two hours at the complex. This was due to a protest by Muslim men against the survey, according to news agency PTI.
Heavy security deployment was seen in the area. A day earlier, the court commissioner's team had conducted a survey of some areas outside the mosque. The survey was undertaken as part of a case being heard by a local court.
